Tony Deniers pantomime company drew crowded houses to the Grand yesterday after noon and evening. The company is the same that appeared here last season and gave such excellent satisfaction. The pantomime is lively and entertaining throughout, Ravel proving an excellent clown. Marie Gilchrist is pretty and graceful Columbine, and Clayton fine Harlequin. Many new tricks are introduced, and they take immensely. Especially is the latter part of the panto- mime taking, the introduction of Humpty and his friends among the Japs being entire ly new. Incidental to the pantomime seva eral good specially acts are introduced to keep up the life of the evening. There is no doubt of Humpty and his specialties drawing big houses this afternoon and evening.

Death OF john Taylor, the President OF the
Mormon Church---Slzetch' OF the Life OF
the Deceased.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, July 26.-It is an
nounced tonight that John Taylor, presi-
dent of the Mormon church, died at 1855 last
evening. The funeral will be at noon on
Friday next, at the Tabernacle. The body
will be in state in that building from to
lI:3O a. N. The public viii be permitted to
view the remains. John Taylor was born in
Milnthorp, Westmoreland county, England,
November I, 1905. He joined the Methodist
church Ii England, emigrated TO Canada in
1882, following his parents, who went two
years before, got in a conflict with
the Methodists in Toronto and became
progressist Methodist. When Party z. Pratt
visited that city IN 1886, Taylor and others
were baptized IN the Mormon church by
Hill, and IN 1881 moved to kIrtlanus Ohio.
In 1898, Joseph Smith had the ''reVela-
tom naming Taylor and others for mem
bers of the quorum of twelve apostles to
ill vacancies. He did much missionary
wOrK for the church for twenty years IN the
Isle of Man, England, Scotland, ireland,
France and Wales. He was also editor of
various church papers, was with Joseph
Smith IN the Carthage jan and received four
shots when the as5lllluJ5 opened mr.. One
bullet lodged in his watch, which saved
ism IL French and issued a paper IN New
York City in 1854 called the Mormon. He
was president of the twelve apostles when
Brigham Young died in 1877 and as such
remained at the head Of the
church till 1850, when be Or
ganizsd the first presidency anew,
taking the chief place himself, which he held
till death. After the passage Of the Ed
munds law Of 1882 he pretended to give up
his wives but constantly preached that no
Norman could do this and nobody believed
he had done it. He was indicted early IN
1885. He last appeared in public FEBRUARY i,
1885. Since then he has been IN hiding
from the officers Of the law.
Taylor was one of the earliest and hrmest
adherents of pelygamy, yet after adapting
it he took occasion to deny that such prac-
hces prevailed among the MOrmons. Geo.
Q. Cannon publishes a long, violent an
nouncement Of his death IN the Desert Aelgs
this evening, charging his death to the
cruelty Of officers Of the law in not permit
ting Taylor to come out and have his usual
exercise.

KANSAS CPoPs

The SunhOwer State just a WhOOping 1t
Up On the Corn Crop, With Plenty Of
Wheat in Sight.
ABILENE, KAN, July 29.-The Abilene
Daily Gazette tomorrow morning viii pub
lish the following: The Kansas Farmers
Fire Insurance company of this city recently
sent a circular letter to their correspondents
and agents throughout the state ask
ing for information IN regard TO the
present prospects of the corn crop.
The company asked for actual facts, pre-
ferring an estimate that would fall short of
the yield than one which would exceed.
Therefore It will be seen that the answers
to the inquiries sent out form a valuable
basis upon which to make reliable estimate
Of the t tai yield of corn IN the state this
year. The replies are not quite half in, and
when every section has been
heard from 1t will be an easy
matter to figure the total and obtain the
exact average throughout the state. The
following is the form of all the answers:
''Ihe present prospects are that we viii
have - of an average crop, but with suffi-
cient rain the balance of the season it may
be increased to -- of an average crop. -
The answers were arranged in statistical
order; first, the present prospects; second,
the conditional prospect, by counties, as
follows:

GARDEN CITY, KAN, July 28.-In refuta-
ton of reports that have been circulated
throughout the east, and which have gained
some credence, the Daily Sentinel will to-
morrow publish an article, prepared by one
Of the staff, who has Just returned
from a two weeks trip over
land by private conveyance through
out the counties of Haskell, Finney,
Stevens, Morton, Grant and Ksarney IN the
order names. The trip, as Will be seen by
the map, covers southwest Kansas proper.
Rains have been frequent and prOfuse over
tine entire southwest. There are spots
this, have suffered more or less
TrCt lack OF rain, but the area Is limited.
LOlA halls, have done some damage, but
have not extended over any considerable
area. More than nine-tenths OF the cul-
tivated lands of this years sod, the
so-called sand hills, are more gen
orally sought after this year than
other land which IA desired for cultiva ion,
as they hold moisture longer and give better
results than any other. Corn Is the prevail
ing crop, and Is looking well and
more than an average crop is assured.
Millet Is more generally cultivated
than any other hay, and the first crop having
been harvested the second crop will be used
foe pasturing. Irish potatoes are thrifty but
not prolific. Sweet potatoes and yams viii
rival the wonderful crops of the SOUTH as
VIII peanuts, which are being
cultivated. Vegetables of ali kinds are sim
ply wonderful in growth. Wild hay was
never better, and the crop viii be sufficient
to supply all demands. Oats and
wheat are hardly the average, although
occasional fields yield are in the eastern
part of the district. Al kinds of live stock
are in excellent condition and improving
rapidly IN breed. immigration continues
and many people are arriving overland
Public lands are nearly all taken up.
